A Grown-up's Halloween

Expect everything but a typical delivery from the Hollywood Theater of the Ear's cast in A GROWN-UP'S HALLOWEEN, adapted and directed by Yuri Rasovsky. There are 14 stories in the collection, each brought to shrieking, howling, door-banging life. Some tales seem too long, others too short, but none are boring. Most are funny; a couple are more whimsical than anything else. The actors rarely use a "normal" voice, opting for affected voices that sometimes sound like a record played on the wrong speed. Anyone familiar with The Firesign Theater will recognize the work of former member Phil Proctor and others who follow his style. Each member of the Hollywood Theater brings something to this collection of adult tales. M.S. 2007 Audies Award Finalist (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
